CHEMISTRY & SAFETYCHEMISTRY: Although the aroma of Frankincense is considered a “base” note, the chemistry would have you thinking otherwise. It is made up of mostly Monoterpenes, which are smaller molecules commonly found in top note aromas like citruses and pines. Frankincense consists of almost 50% alpha-pinene, which was researched to have the following “actions”: anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal, antispasmodic, antiviral, and the prevention of bone loss.SAFETY: EXTERNAL USE ONLY. Keep out of reach of children. Always dilute essential oils before applying to the skin and keep away from mucous membranes. If the oil is past it’s “use by” date or stored improperly, it may cause irritation and lose therapeutic value.

HOW TO USE Restorative Facial Serum: to one ounce of Jojoba oil, add 3 drops of Frankincense, 2 drops Myrrh, and 1 drop Lavender. Mind Calming Bath: Always add essential oils to a carrier before adding to your bath water. Combine 6 drops of Frankincense to an ounce of Epsom or Dead Sea Salts. We recommend Dead Sea salt because of its high magnesium content. Diffuse: Using an ultrasonic diffuser or tea light diffuser.
